Krugersdrift Dam

The Krugersdrift Dam in the Modder River is 35 km northwest of Bloemfontein, Free State Province of South Africa with a capacity of 73.2 million cubic metres.

It was built in 1970 with a wall length of 3114 m, height of 26 m and a surface area of 1 853 ha.

The huge dam is very shallow and can lose its water in a short period of time due to usage and evaporation.

The dam is situated in the Soetdoring Nature Reserve and holds yellowfish, Orange River mudfish, barbel and carp.
